Harley straight-up posed for this. She wants to know if you think she's pretty enough for Vogue.

Coming Soon to CoffeeGeek:

Our First Look at the Fellow Opus Grinder. This is the first Fellow Product we've ever reviewed at CoffeeGeek.

We are only able to review this because Whole Latte Love sent us a test unit. Fellow themselves have opted not to work with our website to get their products reviewed; they mainly work with Youtube and IG influencers, but are also happy to get their products in the hand of big mag/newspapers.

That said, their stance will have no impact on our First Look and forthcoming review. In fact, the Opus is a candidate for our forthcoming Best Budget Grinders for 2024 Feature Guide.

Stay tuned :)

    New rule: If someone feeds you tofu disguised as turkey, and everyone has a big laugh at your expense, you get to serve them veal disguised as mushrooms without being called "a monster" or "a complete sociopath."

    I gotta admit I'm still surprised when people talk about work meetings and how often that happens.

    I have no idea what that is or what you're doing, but it sounds bad.

    @billyjoebowers I just finished my fourth of six scheduled for today. They used to be fun because there was coffee/lunch/snacks provided. Now that I'm WFH (and diabetic), they're much less so. Yesterday's catered taco bar is today's kale smoothie.

    My neighbors are cutting down my favorite tree. I'm so sad. It sheltered my backyard from the afternoon/evening sun in the summertime, making it a cool and pleasant place to be on hot days.

    Getting ready for a martini party. Yet again I will have to decline the free alcohol and ask if I can get a ginger ale or something. The bartenders here are a bit more with it about making me non-alcoholic cocktails, at last year’s place they acted like it was a bizarre request they had never heard before. I honestly didn’t think being teetotal is that unusual?

    @purplepadma I had to check to see where you're posting from. NA beverages have long been not only accepted but encouraged over here in my area (Pacific NW). Designated drivers often get their NA drinks for free as an incentive. They're also getting trendier, with fancy "mocktails" starting to gain significant social cachet.

    Anyway, cheers from another ginger ale drinker.

    Honor Among Thieves just spent the entire week as the third most watched movie in the USA on Paramount+

    It was ahead of Mission Impossibles and Top Guns and Jack Reachers and Screams and other franchises.

    This is atypical of nearly year-old movies that aren't part of massive franchises.

    @rdp@hachyderm.io avatar

    @bedirthan ...it's a really fun movie, Dave. We've seen it several times and it doesn't seem to be getting stale. It's a common request of our kids (11 & 16).

    My 11yo has been dreaming up fun homebrew magic items. Her latest is the "Suspenders of Disbelief." If you hook your thumbs in said suspenders and snap them against your chest while winking at your target, you get +1D6 to any persuasion check.

    Just entered the Thorns 2024 regular season home schedule into my household calendar. Shockingly, zero conflicts. I'm not sure how that even happened, especially with how packed my March is. And nice big gaps around our summer vacation. I couldn't have asked for a better result.

    Nice to be a season ticket holder again after a few years off. Thanks for selling the team, Merritt.

    @Binder Worse, they got away with rhyming "wrong," "mom" and "on" over and over and over again. That whole song is a crime scene.
